When duplicating product, vendors cannot change slug to reflect desired URL

Hello @refluxcomponents,

Thanks for your query.

Unfortunately, vendors are unable to change the product URL from their frontend dashboard.

Here you can do two things.

You can allow your vendor to access the backend and edit the slug as they want.

Or as admin, you can edit the duplicate product slug on the behalf of them.

Actually, here is my solution:

function reflux_update_slug( $data, $postarr ) {
    if ( ! in_array( $data['post_status'], array( 'draft', 'pending', 'auto-draft' ) ) ) {
        $data['post_name'] = wp_unique_post_slug( sanitize_title( $data['post_title'] ), $postarr['ID'], $data['post_status'], $data['post_type'], $data['post_parent'] );
    }
    return $data;
}
add_filter( 'wp_insert_post_data', 'reflux_update_slug', 99, 2 );

Now the users can clone products without getting incorrect slugs/permalinks as a result.

Could we chat?

I think I am having and possibly will have the issues you have mentioned and Dokan support over the past 3 months has not been adequate.
